Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling an electric motor driving a body in translation between an initial position and a final position determined by a stop, by powering the motor with reduced voltage in the final position approach phase. The motor has a torque/speed characteristic such that the torque at null speed decreases with the supply voltage. As the approach phase starts, the method consists in determining a reduced voltage by decreasing the rotational speed of the motor from a nominal value to a predetermined reduced value and in cutting the motor power supply if the motor rotational speed drops below a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image noise reduction method and apparatus to be preferably used to digitize and process, for example, an image signal. Therefore, in the case of the present invention, level values a to h of peripheral pixels and the level value o of a watched pixel are respectively input to, for example, eight comparators 11 and the value "1" is output when absolute values of differences between the level values are smaller than the value of a reference level &thetas;. Moreover, peripheral pixels at point-symmetric positions about the watched pixel o are combined and signals output from the comparators 11 are supplied to four AND circuits 12 in accordance with combinations. Then, signals output from the AND circuits 12 are supplied to eight AND gates 13 in accordance with each combination and level values a to h of corresponding peripheral pixels are output to output ports 3 through the AND gates 13 when signals output from the AND circuits 12 respectively have the value "1". Moreover, signals output from the AND circuits 12 are supplied to an adder 14, the addition output is doubled by a multiplier 15, and the value "1" is added to the multiplication value and output to an output port 4. Thereby, it is possible to perform the averaging operation by using only pixels in which pixels at point-symmetric positions about, for example, a watched pixel are combined and both are selected and thereby, it is possible to solve the problem that an averaged signal phase is deviated from an original position. <IMAGE>
